To expand on the "they can be run anywhere" theme: 1) This reduces costs since presumable one would need a license for each copy of a desktop application installed on a machine, and most likely in an enterprise organization one specific IT personal can install software, so there is there time and expense.
2) Security, as mentioned before with the desktop application the data is presumably (not always) downloaded to the client. This means if the data is on the client, say a laptop, and the client is lost, say while traveling, then the data, which could be quite sensitive, is in who knows who's hands. 3) Easy of updating a single central application rather then N number of client applications.
